Wire antenna?

[Luis]

Hello, is it possible to use a wire antenna with nRF52832?

I have read that only PCB or chip antennas are used, so I expect the answer to be no, just wanted to confirm. I was thinking about a wire soldered perpendicular to the PCB, so we can reduce pcb area, and I thougth it could improve performance for being the antenna in "free air".

So is it possible or what are the downsides of this?

Thanks a lot,
